OmniPage is an optical character recognition (OCR) application available from Kofax Incorporated.
OmniPage was one of the first OCR programs to run on personal computers.[1] It was developed in the late 1980s and sold by Caere Corporation, a company headed by Robert Noyce. The original developers were Philip Bernzott, John Dilworth, David George, Bryan Higgins, and Jeremy Knight.[2][3][4] Caere was acquired by ScanSoft in 2000.[5] ScanSoft acquired Nuance Communications in 2005, and took over its name.[6] By 2019 OmniPage had been sold to Kofax Inc.[7]
OmniPage supports more than 120 different languages.[8]
